How to: You’ll need a wooden board for your backdrop, copper tumblers, and leather ribbon. First, spruce up your wooden backdrop by painting it any color you’d like. A Beautiful Mess has painted it white in the picture above. Then drill holes in your board so that you can hang your tumblers from them. Take your leather ribbon and glue it to the copper tumbler using super glue. Make sure to leave free ends so you can tie them together in the back of your wooden board. After this is done, you’re now ready to hang it on the wall!

How to: You’ll need an old jar and a pair of old stockings you no longer use. Some ideas for jars are jam jars and old mason jars. Cut the stockings to fit the perimeter of the jar. Once you’ve done so, glue it on with superglue and wa-lah! A cute new beauty organizer.

How to: You’ll need a sushi mat and an old elastic headband. Cut the headband so that it becomes one long string and weave it through the sushi mat. Be sure to leave small loops while you are weaving it through. Once you reach the end of the mat, be sure to leave some remaining headband so that when you’re not using your organizer, you can roll it up and tie it.
